European Scouts and Guides engage in refugee support activities: let’s tell their stories!
When the Coordinating Group of the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM met the other weekend, the current situation of refugees and the manifold support actions by Scouts and Guides as members of their local communities was one of the issues discussed. The Coordinating Group is very conscious of the human tragedy unveiling. While we share and tell the stories of the great work being undertaken by Guiding and Scouting, we should be coordinated and compassionate so as to not exploit those suffering. Long-term community work will be very important to empower people.
It was agreed that a sort of “clearing house” on europak-online.net, the website jointly managed by the two Regions, would be a useful tool to featuring examples of what Scouts and Guides contribute to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe. Associations already engaged in such activities would have a larger audience for their projects and featured projects might inspire other associations to start their own activity.
This communication platform is now available and we invite all Scout and Guide Associations in the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM to share their stories, images and resource kits for the benefit of the two Movements.
Sharing of relevant news (in text and image) and resources
Anyone visiting the joint website europak-online.net will be able to click on a new, prominently placed banner see all relevant content on one single page
Content Management
A simple form has been created to facilitate the editorial managment of proposed stories. Following our regular practice, there will normally be no publication of a story without prior agreement from the concerned association.
We are looking forward to receiving and subsequently sharing widely many stories featuring examples of what Scouts and Guides contribute to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe!

Come, let us play a game!
Scouts and Guides contributing to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe (2): a story from Salzburg, Austria.
“The provincial authorities of Salzburg approached them a couple of days ago as members of the provincial youth council: a few phone calls later the Salzburger Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen (one of the nine provincial Scout and Guide Assocations of Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs, member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement – WOSM) had launched the “Children’s Area Project”: Scouts and Guides volunteer on a daily basis and do what they know best: spend some time with children and young people in the refugee centre set up in the public parking area below Salzburg’s central train station: playing, drawing, paper work and games are a welcome activity to pass the long day!”

You have large storage tents, no?
Scouts and Guides contributing to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe (1): a story from Vienna, Austria
“When Scout and Guide Leaders launched an appeal the other day among the Wiener Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen (Scouts and Guides of Vienna, one of nine regional associations of Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs, member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement – WOSM) using existing social media networks, it took only a couple of hours to gather a number solid storage tents to replace inadequate shelters for the many donated goods at the main refugee support centre outside Vienna’s Central Train Station: five different local Scout and Guide Groups brought tents and the volunteers necessary to put them up. And more would have been available if there had been a need.”
